Description
Lucent Excel Switch/EXS Switch uses a client/server architecture where the link between the
switch and the host is based on TCP/IP over Ethernet. A single host can manage all switching
nodes in a Lucent EXS system; multiple hosts are also supported. EXNET serves as the backbone
for EXS. This dual counter-rotating fiber ring technology utilizes 1.2 Gbps, multimode optics.
EXNET Controller and I/O. Each EXS module is equipped with an EXNET card set: an EXNET I/O
and an EXNET Controller. The EXNET Controllers CPU kernel consists of the MC68040/360 in
companion mode for high performance.
The controller functions as a switch matrix in Lucents Selective Space Switching architecture to
provide a seamless connection between the available timeslots on the EXNET and the timeslots
on each node. The EXNET I/O provides the physical connection to the EXNET fiber ring. EXNET
can integrate external service resources such as voice processing. Providing them access to a
centralized environment maximizes switch efficiency and reduces resource contention.
